American Idol

  • Goodbye drunk, pill popping, Paula, hello Ellen

    When I first heard that Paula was whoring for more money on Idol and then got screwed over, I was surprisingly sad.  Yeah, she bugged the crap out of me, but not as much as the new girl who thinks she's the hottest thing since Tamales. Cara, Kara, whatever.  And come on, Paula is an American Idol staple. 

     I was going to miss her incoherent sentences and blubbering.  Who would Simon roll his eyes at and visibly cringe when she spoke? 

    It would be like dropping that Mary Murphy screecher on So You Think You Can Dance.  Some things are better left untouched. 

    If anything I would have wanted them to dump Randy.  Sorry, but the guy just does not do it for me anymore.  He's just kind of there.  I need to be entertained beyond the singers and he has not cut the mustard for awhile now.  At least Paula kept me amused.

    I couldn't imagine who they were going to get, Ozzy Osborn?  Lindsay Lohn?  Her career needs a boost.  AND either she or Brittany Spears could do a good pill popping thing and it wouldn't feel like Paula was gone at all.

    Imagine how thrilled I was to wake up this morning and learn MY GIRL ELLEN was replacing Paula.  OMG, I love Ellen!!!! 

    Granted she was a little out of her element on So You Think You Can Dance, but seriously, sitting by the screecher and the pmsing short hair lady, probably threw her off.  And she did have a couple laugh out loud moments, so I forgave her.

    I am upset that the audition rounds have been taped with no Ellen and with not funny people like Victoria Beckman.

    I mean lets face it, the bad singers in audition rounds are getting old, Ellen would have been the perfect breath of fresh air. 

    I would have loved to hear  " F#$#% ( beep) Ellen man, I can sing"

    But we can't have everything. 

    So goodbye Paula, have a nice life, bottoms up and cheers.  Hello Ellen, I am looking forward to laughing with you. 

    PS.  As you all can probably guess, my new favorite show, Glee, makes me giddy with excitment!

  • My Ben

    There is a yet to be confirmed rumor that my Ben,err I mean The Ben, who I have video taped and audio taped is going to be auditioning for American Idol.  By unconfirmed, I mean I have not heard back from his parents. Even though I left them a scary stalker like perfectly sane message about being Ben's manager.  I did hear this rumor from two reliable sources though. 

    Apparently, Ben won a contest at work ( Six Flags) and is getting an all expense paid trip to Florida to audition. 

    This is the most exciting thing to happen to me Ben and his family.

    When I told Jennie, she said "good, it's about time". Calm as can be, like we know people who audition all the time.

    If Ben makes it before the judges, I really think he has Paula in the bag.  If Ben doesn't make it before the judges they're deaf. 

    Ok, so we have Paula, now I he needs to figure out how to get Randy and Simon.

    I am trying to remember what annoys Simon.  He hates anyone who sounds like they are " singing in any lounge across America".  I don't think he's a big show tune guy either. 

    They always seem to want a story too.  For example, if Ben had a wife and she just had a baby.  Or he walked to Florida, and is deaf and wheelchair bound.  Or he is a show choir boy who has unsupportive parents.  Unfortunately, all these stories are lies ( except he was in show choir).

    I guess he'll have to really play up the winning at work thing. 

    Hopefully, Ben will get lucky and have all bad singers in Florida.  At least all bad before him. 

    Not that he needs the angle, or the luck, because he is a bad singer, you can hear for yourself he's not, but sometimes mistakes are made : cough: Sanjaya.

    Now if when Ben becomes famous, you all will have had the good luck to read this blog.  You can say you heard him on momofjenmatt's site, long before he won the Grammy.

    And I get to say both my children performed with Ben in both plays and show choir. 

    In fact, when they put clips of Ben on TV. from his high school days, my children could easily be seen. 

    Now I wish the videos I took were of higher quality.  Darn.

    Oh well, I just hope Ben remembers the little people like me and my kids.

     If he makes it to Hollywood and beyond, you can guess what my blog is going to be about next season. 

    For more of the soon to be famous Ben, watch listen to my videos.  No rude Simon like comments allowed. 

  • Next year pass me over

    the video below

    Passover was fine, we had some good moments. We were talking about girls and Matts injury due to a cute girl, which led to my seven year old nephew Jeff announcing  he " does not like to be kicked in the weiner".   Uncle N said " eventually a girl will end up kicking you in the weiner, physically or metaphorically."  Uncle N and my dad Papa sure liked that joke, they laughed for like 20 min, slapping each other on the back and such. 

    Other amusements were the kids new toy, yes, I know what it looks like, which is why my sister would not allow me to post the kids playing with it.




    The little mouse, or whatever that is, comes separately.  The " snake" pops out of the can.  My life sure is attracting a lot of " weiner" talk, I'll have to analyze that another time.

    I also asked this question, and I will ask you all too.  If you could clone yourself as a baby, would you have the same parents or type of parents raise you?  Matt, who has an experimental mind gave several answers, first he said he would put his clone with an abusive poor family, I said that was sick, then he said he would give it to his friends parents because the kid turned out to be a druggy, he wanted to see if clone Matt turned out to be a druggy too, then he said  he would raise his clone himself, which I think would be weird.  Jennie said she would have her best friends mom raise her Mrs. E, I got jealous, because mrs. E is a really good mom, and clone Jennie would probably turn out less neurotic than real Jennie, but she said " Mom you got a chance to raise me, I think it would be cool to see how Mrs. E does it".

    I just know I would not raise little Laura, she was a hard kid.  I haven't decided what type of parents clone laura should have.  But it would be a cool nature vs. nurture experiment.

    So who would you have raise your clone self?  Multiple answers are allowed.

    While your thinking, check out my Sanjaya video.  Sanjaya, Sanjaya, come on let's all sing

  • Sanjaya Sucks

    WTF!  screaminginmyhead's hubby calls Sanjaya Jungle book boy and I think that's a perfect name for him.

    Now I was very nice and understanding in show one when Simon was mean to him, I felt bad because the parents seemed to like the sister better, but this is too much.  Please join me in out voting Sanajya next week.

     Stupid Howard Stern is backing Sanjaya, as are his fans.  Howard, I think you have better things to think about, like how your not the dad of Anna Nicole Smiths kid. 

    I mean really, if I lost my spouse and the parent of my supposed child, I would be concentrating on getting a Michael Jackson Jungle Boy to win American Idol too.  Yeah, that's normal!

    The boy sucks okay?  I mean he gets worse every week despite Paula's gushing last night, he hurt my ears.  And what's with the hyperventilating pre teen?  Wasn't it past her bed time?

    Jennie went to the Mall Of America Today.  For those who forgot, or didn't care enough when I brought it up the first time, she is on Alternative Spring break.  She is at a camp that helps HIV Aides infected kids.  The kids aren't there though, so I guess they are painting cabins or something.  Anyway, I guess they took a break and went to the mall today. 

    I am subbing tomorrow, the teacher said I could show a movie so I got the new Rocky movie.  Not my first pick, but even though they are druggy gang members we can't show them R rated movies.  Let me tell you, it's not easy to find a pg13 that interests these boys.  And they are not grateful to get a movie and no work, but it's easier for me.  Anyway, that will give me a chance to finish my book. 

    I was going to blog about, things nobody tells you, but I will.  But I'm too tired tonight so maybe tomorrow.

  • Edit:  Wow who saw Am American idol?  I think they may have topped it this year!  The lion girl and the really homely fan, who watches every Idol show ever made?  She was painful!  And yeah, thanks Idol, for ruining that kiss song forever.

    I am going to answer this even though it was in the last post.

    Your take on being homosexual or a lesbian?
    Posted 1/16/2007 6:05 PM by mindyhardy - delete - block user

    Gay is the way!  I am completely cool with whatever sexuality you are.  I am not positive ALL gay people are born gay, I think many are, but I also don't think it's a choice ( maybe I will get into that on another blog.)  And even if it were, again, whatever,   I could care less.  Gay or straight though, I have no respect for people who have sex with multiple partners every week.  I think it's really sad when people have so little self respect, or regard for themselves that they sleep with anything or anyone.  My step brother, who is gay, acts like all gay men are sluts.  I say all human beings that go to a bar everynight and sleep around are sluts.  There are plenty of gay men in monogomous loving relationships, and good for them.  If you can find love, and make it work, all the more power to you.



    That turned out to be kind of a fun tag ( see below) but I think it's time to move on now.  Brrrr, I can't believe that semi ex, and his bringing the cold here.  No news on the " pooper" thanks to all that were concerned. You can read about the " pooper" two posts below.

     Detective Laura, ( that would be me) has decided it's not an inside job. 

    First, anyone that I might suspect, has been pooped.

    Second, the kids talk to much.  This has been going on for two years now and so far countless show choir kids have been hit.  I practically know who has their period, who is going to break up, who is going to date,  and who hates who, before Matt even knows.  If it were an inside job, they would have been caught.

    Third, even though they know that it is a show choir kids car,and where they live, they are pretty brazen.  The last victim has a dog, it wasn't that late, they could have been easily caught if someone went to walk the dog.  If you REALLY knew this family, you would know they are late nighters.

    Fourth, I can't picture anyone being that gross in the group.  Vaseline and toilet paper are one thing, poop, quite another.

    So yeah, I am thinking this is an outside job.  I think the preparator either hates show choir kids, or is a disgruntled kid who didn't make it. 

     If you have any information, I am hearing rumors of a cash award....  Of course the information has to pan out.

    But it is really too early in the investigation for me to talk about it. I am off to my real job, I'll let you all know if I think of something pertaining to the case.  Expect an update after work ( maybe)
